When the bones in one's body emit a crisp, metallic sound, like firecrackers exploding in unison, this sound is priceless, a sound that cannot be bought with a thousand pieces of gold.
This signifies the completion of bone training, and it is a perfect progress in bone training as can be heard from sound and color. Once this level is achieved, there will be a minimum standard for power increase according to the martial arts level.
Niu Anxin clenched her fists, casually picked up a stone lock from the side, and the thousand-pound stone lock felt as light as nothing at this moment. It made a whooshing sound as she casually moved it.
The results of retraining the bone joints are perfect. At this time, the development ratio of the meridians in the body has improved further than the previous standard of barely reaching fifty percent, and has reached almost eighty percent. If it increases by another twenty percent, it will be able to break through the flesh and become a martial artist to generate internal energy.
Seeing the perfect martial arts technique, one can increase bone strength by 3,000 jin; the level of separation from form doubles to 6,000 jin; and beyond that, the realms of severing karma and nirvana are incomparable.
After all, such martial arts are not of this world, and cultivating them requires various conditions and talent, so the achievements are naturally great.
Niu Anxin discarded the stone lock, and the martial arts he had abandoned were only the Body-Supporting-Mountain Skill of Qiongdao Peak in Nanshan Road. Once the bone training was completed, he could stand like a mountain range, never falling, never dying, and never running out of energy. The sect leader, Emperor Mountain King, moved two mountains by himself to block the wide river channel of Tianhan River, forming the Ape Cry Gorge, which shattered the dream of the foreign dynasty in the southern border to cross the river.
Such a realm and such martial arts are just wishful thinking. It is already excellent that Niu Anxin can master her own family's Li Xiang martial art, the Flipping River and Surging Waves Skill. After strengthening her bones, she will have enhanced combat power in the water.
Stepping out of the seclusion room, Niu Anxin saw her grandfather sitting in the courtyard, playing chess while looking at the moon. He held a black piece for a long time without making a move, and only put it down with a sigh of relief after Niu Anxin came out.
He was Niu Yuancheng, the third elder of the Niu family, and the third person in the Niu family to hold real power. His strength as a fourth-level martial arts master was second only to the eldest elder. He only had one grandson, Niu Anxin, which shows how much he valued this grandson.
"Grandpa, everything went smoothly! Look! Becoming a martial arts master is within my grasp!"
Niu Anxin, a far cry from his usual spoiled self, was now excitedly and obediently sharing his joy with his grandfather.
For more than ten years, because of the three times he was subjected to meat, and because he was not from the family's own meat breed, Niu Anxin has always been a useless person with extremely poor talent, who can only rely on his grandfather's status to survive.
Aside from the two people present, few knew the bitterness and anguish that came with such struggles. But things were different now. Even with a different type of flesh, he had still managed to achieve the perfect bone training that most of his clansmen had failed to accomplish. He now possessed a body of heavy water bones, which would not sink in water and would be able to withstand attacks with a cushioning effect. This naturally amplified the family's inherited Pingjiang Qi technique.
"Good...very good! You've worked hard, Xin'er."
The old man clenched and unclenched his fists. Looking at his beloved grandson, he felt happy and relaxed. He had always worried about what would happen to his grandson after he was gone, whether the gossip in the clan would put pressure on him, and what if the child offended someone he couldn't handle.
He was afraid that his lineage would end, afraid that his grandson would live a bad life and encounter danger, so he could only work hard to cultivate himself.
Fortunately, I can rest assured now. My grandson is capable of protecting himself. I just need to work harder to protect him until he surpasses me.
"But you should not make this public. Wait until the Qingmang Battle to show your skills. Your progress is too rapid. If you show it off rashly, you may incur jealousy."
But then, seeing that Niu Anxin seemed eager to show off his talents, Niu Yuancheng pressed down on his shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"Why, Grandpa? Didn't the third young master of the Mu family also suddenly manifest his talent? If I show it, I'm sure I can get the family's support!"
Niu Anxin was somewhat puzzled. It was true that the Mu family's son was exceptionally talented, but he also possessed the Blood Sea True Inheritance, so his progress would only be faster than that of the Third Young Master!
If he can show it off, not only will he himself be very impressive, but his grandfather will also feel proud and make up for his failures over the years.
“You are still young, Xin’er. There are some things you may not understand, but you should know that there will never be another Third Young Master in Qingmang City. If there is, we can only hide him and send him away.”
“The county magistrate will not allow our family to grow too powerful, the Liao family will not allow a genius who can influence the situation to emerge, and the Mu family is now in a dilemma. It is true that the third young master is talented, but if he shows it now, it will only bring disaster to the Mu family.”
Once a family's resources are distributed, it is difficult to increase them unless new territories are developed or the existing situation is disrupted.
Originally, the three families were roughly equal in strength, and with the county magistrate present, they had been mutually hindering each other and cooperating for many years.
"All you need to know is that the third young master will definitely not survive this winter, and it's hard to say whether the Mu family will even exist after this winter."
“Listen to your grandfather. Show your talent when you reach the Qingmang Battle. There will be two people to protect you from danger then. But you must lose before the semi-finals. I know it’s unfair to you, but trust me. This is for your own good.”
Niu Yuancheng spoke earnestly, knowing how much someone who had endured being called a good-for-nothing for years and had now undergone a complete transformation longed for change, but now was really not the right time.
"..."
"Who are those two people? Besides our Niu family's hidden genius, could they be that Miss Shang?"
The Liao family member might also have a chance, but their family is good at working in groups, not individual ones. After thinking it over, Niu Anxin concluded that these two were the most likely candidates.
